About me

Gender Male
Industry Telecommunications
Occupation Corporate Communications manager
Location New Malden, Surrey, United Kingdom
Introduction Bitten by the writing bug as a teenager, I began my career while still at school, writing live reviews for the NME. On leaving school I joined a short-lived lifestyle magazine called LM as a staff writer before going on to write for Smash Hits, Record Mirror, Sounds, The Mail On Sunday, Teletext and the Press Association. In 1995 I moved into the PR world, working for Philips for the better part of 16 years, and then Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia, living in the Netherlands, California and France in the process. Today, I'm back in London, proudly working in corporate communications and enjoying a new life as a husband and step-dad.
